[D]
[A] [C#m] I [D]
[A] knew love [C#m] when it still meant [D] forever, [A] when a feeling shared [C#m] didn't always have [B] to hurt,
[A] and a promise that was made would go [D] unwoken.
I [A] knew love when [E] it was more than [D] just a word,
and I knew [A] a time [C#m] when hope was all you [D] needed,
and [A] if you cared you found a [C#m] way to make [Bm] things work,
[A] when life was what two people shared [D] together.
Oh, I knew [A] love when it [E] was more than just [D] a word.
I knew [C#m] love [A] when I could still believe it [Bm] was the greatest [A] power in the [D] world.
I [E] knew love [A] when [D] it was [A] more [E] than just [Em] a word.
[D]
I knew [A] hearts when [C#m] they made it all so [D] easy,
[A] and sad goodbyes were [C#m] seldom ever [Bm] heard,
when I [A] wouldn't have to read this note that said you [D] were leaving.
I knew [A] love when it [E] was more than just [D] a word.
I knew [C#m] love [A] when I could still [D] believe [Bm] it was the greatest [A] power in the [D] world.

I [E] knew [A] love when [D] it [A] was more [E] than just a word.
[Em] Just a word.
